AutoCAD Install without setup file?

I had AutoCAD 2014 (full version) on my desktop, and received an upgraded full version of AutoCAD 2016 (company-specific) on a USB drive. I didn't have time to fully install, so I uploaded the upgrade to my hard drive at the time, intending to set it up at a later date. In the meantime, the desktop crashed; I still have the USB drive, but my original setup files are gone. Is there a way to re-install AutoCAD without the setup files, or can I purchase just the setup file for a lower price?

Doesn't the full version of AutoCAD 2016 that you have on the USB drive come with its own setup files?

 

Anyhow, you cannot buy "setup files" at a reduced price. It doesn't work that way.

Sounds a bit fishy we have loaded around 12 Autocads off one USB all fully licensed its the way you download 2016 from Autodesk including Setup around 9GB.

I agree with Bigal about this sounding fishy, but here's a simple solution. Just contact the company that supplied you with the USB, tell them what happened and ask them to send you a new USB.

 

And FYI, you don't have to upload the files from the USB to your computer. You can install directly from the USB.

A licensed version of AutoCad can be downloaded repeatedly just for such occasions. I lease AutoCad LT 2015, and it is still available for me to download through my AutoDesk account, and new install it right now, on as many computers as I want, as long as no two of them are running at the same time.
